Our diploma will get you on the road to practicing as a genealogist.

This diploma is accredited by University College Cork (in Ireland) and is offered in conjunction with its Centre for Adult Continuing Education. It is a traditional course offered on-campus at UCC, specifically tailored for adult learners wishing to obtain third level qualification in history of family and ancestry research.
